To: All University Employees
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: Revision of Policy on Fingerprinting of
Employees

On August 11, 1982 the Office of the Chancellor announced that
the CSU requirement to fingerprint all new employees was abolished
and that in the future the decision to fingerprint or not to
fingerprint would be delegated to each campus president.

It is my decision to eliminate the fingerprinting requirement at
San José State University except in those few campus areas
where the nature of the job makes it essential to have the
background information that can be provided only through a
fingerprint check. In these instances I delegate the decision
making authority to Academic Vice President Burns, Executive Vice
President Evans, or Dean of Student Services Martin.
